Task

The project's task is to present The Silent Mystery as a gripping survival action game with deep gameplay, strategy elements, missions and a competitive element through leaderboards. The player should feel the constant tension of survival, careful planning and progress through completing tasks.

Work stages

⦁ Analytics

Survival games with horror elements, tactical combat and resource management were analyzed in order to create a balanced gaming experience: fighting zombies, collecting items, exploring the map and missions.
